Honestly It’s Just Best To Ignore Unsolicited Links - Blog Posts
Hello, I'm sending this to warn that you may have reblogged a potential scam taking advantage of the situation in gaza.
The users profile isn't them. It is stolen from a gofundme that is completely seperate to the fuzzyyouthcreation situation.

Above is the link to said gofundme fundraiser, It has already raised $30,000 and has no mention of diabetes type 1 anywhere.
The second thing is the claim about type 1 diabetes. Every medical and charity (chartities that are for diabetes support and awareness) source I can find, says that a type 1 diabetic would be dead within 2 weeks, usually in the first few days, without insulin from Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). I cannot find a single source that says they could live 3 months without insulin.
Fuzzyyouthcreation seems to censor anyone who points out any questionable aspects of their post or profile.
I'm sorry if this comes off as confrontational or aggressive, that is not my intention. I just think you have spread and potentially donated to a scammer, that is taking advantage of a really fucked up situation.
Here is a list of trusted organizations to support palestine if you still want to help out.

Ah shit.
You know, my original gut instinct was to delete this DM asking for money because “ah, a random link. That must be a scam”
But no, that would’ve been too pessimistic of me, right? No one would be begging random people in DMs unless they were truly desperate, right? Surely people aren’t so cruel and idiotic to try and selfishly profit over this horrible situation…
Right?
:/
Sigh.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, genuinely. I appreciate you taking the time to not only warn me but also to provide legitimate organizations. :)
